“I think it was a great feminist text”

Myf and Zan are on assignment this week, so they’re sharing a bonus bang from their recent live show in Geelong.

They unpacked Harry Styles fan fic rom-com The Idea of You starring Anne Hathaway and had plenty of thoughts on intergenerational relationships, hair continuity, bad art and boy bands.

Bang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J. It is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri, Gadigal and Turrbal peoples. We pay our respects to elders past and present. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the land where we live, work, and learn.

If you've had more questions than answers this week, you're not alone. Who is the Hawk Tuah girl, and why has Lily Allen set up an OnlyFans? For her feet? Myf and Zan are here to help, making sense of the week that was.

Witchery have had a brand refresh and it's done the opposite of what was planned, and the Punters Club is back in Melbourne. Gen X and elder millenials, we'll see you at the pub.

And we're banging on about a new series on Karl Lagerfeld, and the first episode of S03 of The Bear.

Myf and Zan are back and boy howdy there's a lot to catch up on. Take 5 has been nominated for a Logie (!) and we're looking at you, Bang Fam, to nab the win.

Charli XCX has invited Lorde onto a remix of a song reportedly about her. What results is one of the most beautiful displays of radical vulnerability we've heard, and it gets us thinking about the pitting of pop stars against one another, and how the new guard of stars is rewriting the rules.

Justin Timberlake has had a "tough week", while in Paris we've just discovered Vogue World and we are all in on this circus madness. And we're cracking open the Bang Box to share some treats, and banging on about Colin From Accounts S02.

Queens reign supreme this week! Dolly Parton has announced a new Broadway musical based on her life, and we are already booking our flights to New York. Her empire continues to expand too, with a hotel, museum, and wine range. She never stops.

Kylie Minogue has reportedly signed with Netflix for a fly-on-the-wall doco on her life as well, and has been getting her yee-haw on again with Orville Peck, to boot. And if you're seeing a lot of talk about "Rodent Men" and need an explainer, we're here for you.

Millennial fashion is giving us whiplash in it's cyclical return, specifically the GG Gucci belt. Are the days of stealth wealth over? And we're banging on about a couple of brilliant podcasts, and another bang on piece from Annabel Crabb about men and the meritocracy.

Myf and Zan are having a ball on the Bang On live tour across the country with special guests along the way and a handful of shows left.

Comedian, improv queen and co-host of triple j Breakfast Concetta Caristo joined them on stage in Sydney to bang on about something Myf and Zan did not see coming.

Just when we think it's been a quiet week, the internet proves us wrong. A TikTok comedian has gotten answers to the questions many journo's have been asking of Baz Luhrmann, streetside in Sydney. Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have launched a new reality TV show about their lives (in strange timing...), and the Tillies squad has been announced for the Paris Olympics.

It feels like it's been a bit of a pile on for J Lo lately, and it speaks to a whole lot more than poor ticket sales. Why is women's ambition so misunderstood? 

Meanwhile, it's a big week for shoes, as Rupert Murdoch keeps it casual on his wedding day and Miley elevates her treadmill time with some slingbacks. And we're banging on about the brilliant film May December, and season 3 of Hacks.

Myf and Zan are unpacking a huge week, and welcoming a surprise new member of the Bang Fam. Yes, the one and only Amy Poehler drops in for a chat and you won't believe what she's banging on about.

We've got great news for our Bang Fam in the Top End too! And for southerners, Ramsay St is about to get a surprise new resident. A new doco on the Brat Pack, spearheaded by Andrew McCarthy, has us reliving our fave coming of age movies, while reflecting back on how this gang of actors was maligned back in the day.

And a piece on pop culture, art, and amateur sleuths opens up a convo on authenticity, trauma, and emotional evolution that surprises us both. In Tassie, the most expensive album ever sold is about to spin at MONA for a lucky few, and on the streets of New York we're heading into our hot orthopaedic summer.

And we're banging on about the compelling new Jerrod Carmichael "Reality Show", and the new season of Heartbreak High.

Comedian Nazeem Hussain jumped on stage in Brisbane and shared a wild story from the road involving a marching band, the army, the Sri Lankan Prime Minister and poisonous stingray eels.

Myf and Zan are back and there is plenty to catch up on. Most importantly, the annual Westminster Dog Show, the pranciest event of the year. Sage has won, and rightly so. Speaking of winners, Grace Tame has proven once again she's unstoppable; winning a 60km ultramarathon and capturing the experience of the run so poetically.

ChatGPT have released new chatbots, one of which sounds frighteningly similar to Scarlett Johansson. So we're watching HER again, and finding out the full story. And a Kansas City Chiefs NRL player has given the commencement speech at his old Catholic College and oh boy, their YouTube account has never had so many clicks.

We have an update on the Ladies Lounge at MONA that you're gonna love, and some news on Pigeoneers. What are pigeoneers? Good question, we'll explain. And it's a big week of brilliant cinema as Myf watches our stories on screen and Zan heads to a French farmhouse for some epic gastronomy.

Zan’s been whisked away on secret special business this week, so she and Myf have a bonus bang all the way from their show at Brisbane Comedy Festival.

This time, they’re picking apart the very horny tennis movie Challengers starring Zendaya, which has absolutely nothing to do with the Woodies or Porky’s, but somehow they weave their way into this very silly conversation.
